Does this pad maintain a constant heat like the Sunbeam Ultraheat Technology? Some heating pads work by 'pulsing' and get too hot then warm.

It heats up to the temp chosen then when time starts running out it starts cooling off. It produces consistent heat for the time chosen. I always set mine for the max 60 mins

I have not noticed a change in temperature during the hour it stays on. I would say it is a constant heat.

I've never used the sunbeam ultraheat but I do think this one keeps a very constant heat, honestly I have had to turn it down at times as I was thinking it wouldn't get too hot but it really does the trick and my wife likes it as well.

Have you put it in the dryer? I lost one of my best heating pads that way. The only thing that I can recommend is to do what you are already doing and making sure that your contacts at the heating pad are making contact. I ran into a problem like this and had to unplug it from the wall and at the heating pad also, and then making sure everything was making good contact before I plugged it back into the wall. Let me know how it goes, good luck. I have not had this problem with this item as a constant.

Seems great to me. This is the best heating pad i have ever had. It has lasted through several years of almost daily use! I had a very expensive one the died on me twice in a row in a few months. The cords are stiff on cheaper models. Not this one.

It seems to me that it is evenly heated throughout the pad with no special zone at the foot. I have the twin size.

I sleep hot, very hot, so I've tried every pad imaginable from silk, linen, 100% cotton etc. My favorites for the least amount of heat: silk (super expensive, short lived and dry clean), and the bamboo listed here. This pad has a good loft for air flow but is filled with poly so there is some heat retention however the bamboo seems to disperses it so no ultra hot spots to bake in. I also use 100% bamboo sheets or 100% cotton percale sheets and I have a bamboo topped latex mattress, not heat producing memory foam. I've done everything I could think of to prevent breaching like a dolphin all night and so far I am happy with the results of this pad. I hope it works as well for you.

I have not had that problem with any of my sunbeam healting pads. Check with company to find out about a warranty.

I use it mostly during the day. The lantern does seem to help heat the pads a bit, but I have used it with good results without using the lantern portion.

My wife never has used this heating pad in a moist way. Sorry. Some heating pads have a foam pad you can wet and apply to the pad and it then provides moist heat. This pad does not have one of those pads, however. Best Regards, Rick

These pads do not turn on and off. You plug them in and they are on until you unplug them. You have no control over the temp. They just stay warm. Not hot enough to burn.

This heating pad does not have an automatic off feature. I used it for a half hour to one hour and then shut off so I don't know how long it would stay hot. 50 watts is printed on the pad. It is very basic but it was fine for a sore back.

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

No...and it is the worst pad ever! Get the Sunbeam Express King Size pad (about $35 on Amazon)...it gets hot quick, has a nice cover unlike this ones flimsy scratchy thing, and it CAN be set to stay on! They also have a wonderful warranty and customer service...mine flashed an error after a year of ownership & they sent me a new one free along with pre-paid label to return broken one. I sleep with a heating pad every night and the Sunbeam one is by far the best I have ever owned (and I have owned a lot!).

The only answer I can give for that is that it turns on at the allotted temperatures and it turns off automatically. If you are asking if it would change on its own if the room is hot, my answer would be no. I suppose that kind of pad would require much more money to design and sell.

gave one to my mother-in-law 23 months ago that just this past week stopped working. She used it 3-4 times a week and had nothing but praise for it. She's often commented it's the best heating pad she's ever had. I just ordered her another one. She primarily uses hers on the neck/shoulder area and has never mentioned any problem with the fit.

It heats up pretty fast, however I do not recommend this heating pad. The timer is already not working correctly and if I could I would send it back.You put the minutes and the temp which is good but the temp always changes even though there is a button to lock the temp choice. It doesn't feel like moist heat either.

No you do not feel the "moist". If it actually works is is very subtle. I have used other heating pads which make the same claim but they all act the same. Not much moisture gets into the pad from the atmosphere around you.

They are like an electric heating pad - they stay warm as long as you have them turned on.
